The idea is the mating pattern. Even though it is quite contrived here, the ability to see mates similar to this is very useful. It highlights very well the weakness of the f7 pawn, and shows how double attacks on it might be formed.

mahomeless, its for attacking begginers as white, ok? I didnt say that this was a good opening!

Be nice. Try this one:

e4 e5

Bc4 Nf6

Nf3 Nc6

Ng5 Bg5

Bxf7+ Kf7

Bb3 Nxe4

Nf7 (fork) gives a good game for white.
